Imagine a battlefield where two armies advance in strict ranks to the beat of drums. At 160–330 feet, they halt and fire a volley, filling the field with smoke and noise. Today this looks suicidal, but for centuries, linear tactics (17th–19th c.) were among the most effective methods of war.
Compared to the 20th century, their losses were far smaller. World War I’s Battle of the Somme caused over a million casualties (30–40%) in just 141 days. Stalingrad in World War II cost up to two million lives — some sectors lost 70%. But in linear warfare, casualties were far lower: at Fontenoy (1745), 90,000 fought, with only 13% losses; even Waterloo (1815) saw about 26%.
So why did this seemingly suicidal tactic dominate for so long? What made it effective, and why did later wars become so devastating? And why did cannon buckshot terrify soldiers more than anything else?
